OP did not specify "Carrerra"

I would argue that a 74-5 Carrera has a large desirability premium vs the average base 911 911s of same year,

and there is also the "California smog" factor to be considered

- non-rusty examples of all pre-'76 911 are at a premium in CA simply cuz they are smog exempt

- rusty examples abound in much of the USA and are often more valuable parted out than whole - and average condition 76-77 models are just not sought after in CA
